Description

Integrated single laser source optical device for movable cold atom interferometer
Technical Field
The invention mainly relates to the technical field of cold atom interference precision measurement, in particular to an integrated single laser source optical device for a movable cold atom interferometer.
Background
The cold atom interferometer is a new generation high-precision measuring instrument which takes atomic substance waves as a measuring medium instead of light waves. Because the cold atoms have the characteristics of short de Broglie wavelength, long free evolution time, large static mass, small atomic group velocity distribution, complex internal energy level structure and the like, the cold atom interference technology has many intrinsic superiority and good technical potential in precision measurement compared with the laser interference technology. According to the different interaction directions and modes of the laser and the atoms, the atomic interference gravimeter, the gravity gradiometer, the atomic interference gyroscope, the atomic clock and other precise measuring instruments can be formed and are used in the fields of inertial navigation, geophysical, geological exploration, resource exploration, industrial production, basic scientific research and the like.
In order to realize the cold atom interferometer, 7 lasers with different frequencies and different powers, such as reference light, cooling light, blown light, back pump light, probe light, Raman light 1, Raman light 2 and the like, are required to change according to specific time sequence at different time and interact with atoms, and the cold atom interferometer is used for finishing the functions of atom laser cooling and trapping, atom speed selection and atomic state preparation, atom beam splitting-reflecting-beam combining, atom population normalization detection and the like. In addition, in order to realize the mobile measurement, an integrated laser system with small volume, low power consumption, simple structure and good stability needs to be matched with the cold atom interferometer.
Laser systems based on discrete optical components built on optical platforms clearly do not meet the above requirements. The integrated optical device mainly has two realization modes of a free space type and an all-fiber type: integrated free space optics based on 5 (schmidt M, Prevedelli M, Giorgini a, tinogm, Peters a Applied Physics B2010, 102,11.) and 2 (Bodart Q, Merlet S, malssi N, Dos Santos FP, Bouyer P, landraging a Applied Physics Letters 2010,96, 134101; s.merlet, l.volodimer, m.lours, f.p.dos Santos, application.phys.b, 117, 749-. Although the mode of combining a plurality of semiconductor laser sources with an optical phase-locked loop can realize the required laser frequency and power, the device is still more complex, large in size, high in price and poor in stability; also achieved is a solution based on 2 (Zhang X, Zhang J, Tang B, Chen X, Zhu L, Huang P, Wang J, Zhang M Applied Optics 2018,57, 6545; O.Carraz, F.Lienhart, R.Charri re, M.Cadoret, N.Zahzam, Y.Bidel, A.Breson, applied.Phys.B, 97, 405-doped 411, 2009)) and 1 (Theron F, Carraz O, Renon G, Zahzam N, Bidel Y, Cadoret M, Breson A Applied Physics B2014, 118, 1; luo Q, Zhang H, Zhang K, DuanXC, Hu ZK, Chen LL, ZHou MK Rev Sci Instrum 2019,90,043104)1.5 μm optical fiber for communications band fiber laser sources. Although the development of a laser source with the diameter of 1.5 μm and an optical fiber device is mature, the application range of the optical fiber laser optical device with the frequency doubling mode of 1.5 μm is limited by a complex, low-efficiency, expensive and high-power consumption laser frequency doubling module, and the frequency doubling scheme is only applicable to rubidium, potassium and other atoms and cannot be applicable to other types of alkali metal atoms.
